I’m happy to announce the release of Songs for Your Path, a 180-day devotional that explores the joy, wisdom, and hope of the Psalms. I trust you’ll find it a friendly guide for the path that God has set for His children.

In 1931, a man named Ted Hustead purchased the only drug store in the small town of Wall, South Dakota. Normally the store’s business would have suffered in such a remote location, but thanks to the opening of Mt. Rushmore and creative advertising, Hustead transformed the tiny drug store into one of the largest attractions in the area.
The Reformation in England took the path of a State Church established apart from the Church of Rome. Though corruption of doctrine crept in through the ages, men of God still ministered within the Anglican Church. Bishop Handley Moule was such a man.
Properly used, humor can offer a helpful tool in teaching and preaching. Charles Spurgeon used humor effectively in many of his lectures to students. He skillfully wielded it to show unsaved people the absurdity of their excuses and the folly of their efforts to earn God’s favor.
